Praise be to Allah who is qualified with the attributes of splendor, magnificence and greatness. Who treats every soul according to what it commits. He made day and night alternate, for those who want to remember or show gratitude. Hearts submitted to him while fearing him. "He guides whom He wills to a straight path".

He raised up some of his servants, who thus watched at night and prayed... He showed them the delights of this world, but they refused them and abstained. "They slept little at night and at the end of the night they asked forgiveness from Allah" [s51 v17-18].
